The Story of Graphene
http://www.graphene.manchester.ac.uk/explore/the-story-of-graphene/
"Fascination with this material stems from its remarkable physical properties and the potential applications these properties offer for the future. Although scientists knew one atom thick, two-dimensional crystal graphene existed, no-one had worked out how to extract it from graphite."
Scientists cook up material 200 times stronger than steel out of soybean oil
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-31/scientists-cook-up-super-strong-graphene-out-of-soybean-oil/8223686
"Many production techniques involve the use of intense heat in a vacuum, and expensive ingredients like high-purity metals and explosive compressed gases. Now a team of Australian scientists has detailed how they turned cheap everyday ingredients into graphene under normal air conditions. They said the research, published today in the journal Nature Communications, may open up a new avenue for the low-cost synthesis of the highly sought-after material."
Physicists patent detonation technique to mass-produce graphene
https://phys.org/news/2017-01-physicists-patent-detonation-technique-mass-produce.html
"Forget chemicals, catalysts and expensive machinery-a Kansas State University team of physicists has discovered a way to mass-produce graphene with three ingredients: hydrocarbon gas, oxygen and a spark plug. Their method is simple: Fill a chamber with acetylene or ethylene gas and oxygen. Use a vehicle spark plug to create a contained detonation. Collect the graphene that forms afterward."

New Batteries Could Last a Decade With Minimal Upkeep
https://www.seeker.com/new-batteries-could-last-a-decade-with-minimal-upkeep-2261389684.html
"The batteries are designed to store wind and solar energy for later use. They're non-toxic, non-corrosive and could significantly reduce the cost of production."
Lithium-Ion Battery Inventor Introduces Fast-Charging, Noncombustible Batteries
http://engr.utexas.edu/news/8203-goodenough-batteries
"A team of engineers led by 94-year-old John Goodenough, professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery, has developed the first all-solid-state battery cells that could lead to safer, faster-charging, longer-lasting rechargeable batteries for handheld mobile devices, electric cars and stationary energy storage."
BU-204: How do Lithium Batteries Work?
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_based_batteries
"Lithium is the lightest of all metals, has the greatest electrochemical potential and provides the largest specific energy per weight. Rechargeable batteries with lithium metal on the anode could provide extraordinarily high energy densities; however, it was discovered in the mid-1980s that cycling produced unwanted dendrites on the anode. These growth particles penetrate the separator and cause an electrical short. The cell temperature would rise quickly and approach the melting point of lithium, causing thermal runaway, also known as 'venting with flame.'"
Has lithium-battery genius John Goodenough done it again? Colleagues are skeptical
https://qz.com/929794/has-lithium-battery-genius-john-goodenough-done-it-again-colleagues-are-skeptical/
"Researchers have struggled for decades to safely use powerful-but flammable-lithium metal in a battery. Now John Goodenough, the 94-year-old father of the lithium-ion battery, is claiming a novel solution as a blockbuster advance. If it proves out, the invention could allow electric cars to compete with conventional vehicles on sticker price. The improbable solution, described in a new paper from Goodenough and three co-authors, has drawn intense interest from leading science and technology publications."

"When hundreds of physicists gathered this week in La Thuile, an old mining town in the heart of the Italian alps, one short and simple question hung in the cool, crisp air: is it real? The source of their fascination, and no little excitement, was light. Not the sunlight that made the snow glint on the mountains in the Aosta valley, but light inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) across the border near Geneva. The machine had detected more photons than expected as it smashed particles beneath the quiet Swiss countryside. The brief flashes of light might be the first glimpse of the next big discovery."

Energy storage leap could slash electric car charging times
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/26/energy-storage-supercapacitors-electric-car-batteries-charging-times
“Researchers have claimed a breakthrough in energy storage technology that could enable electric cars to be driven as far as petrol and diesel vehicles, and recharge in minutes rather than hours.”
A fluke breakthrough could be the missing link for an electric car age
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/superdielectrics-supercapacitor-electric-car-battery
“By 2016, the pair were trying to make their polymer matrix more electrically conductive with an eye on biomedical applications - potentially as an interface between the nervous system and prosthetic limbs. But when they tested the new polymer – a thin, light blue square the size of a postage stamp – something strange happened.”
Next Stop: Ultracapacitor Buses
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/415773/next-stop-ultracapacitor-buses/
“Unlike a conventional trolley bus that has to continually touch an overhead power line, Sinautec’s ultracapacitor buses take big sips of electricity every two or three miles at designated charging stations, which double as bus stops. When at these stations, a collector on the top of the bus rises a few feet and touches an overhead charging line. Within a couple of minutes, the ultracapacitor banks stored under the bus seats are fully charged.”

Generating carbon schwarzites via zeolite-templating
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/08/13/1805062115
"Nanocarbons can be characterized by their curvature—that is, positively curved fullerenes, zero-curved graphene, and negatively curved schwarzites. Schwartzites are fascinating materials but have not been synthesized yet, although disordered materials with local properties similar to schwarzites (“random schwarzites”) have been isolated."
Simulations suggest graphene’s elusive cousin may become a reality
https://cen.acs.org/physical-chemistry/computational-chemistry/Simulations-suggest-graphenes-elusive-cousin/96/web/2018/08
“Now, Berend Smit’s laboratories at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a computational method which suggests that some kinds of zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs), including some that have been attempted in labs, are in fact Schwarzites. Smit credits the project’s success to collaboration between chemists and mathematicians in his group.”
Long-sought carbon structure joins graphene, fullerene family
http://news.berkeley.edu/2018/08/13/long-sought-carbon-structure-joins-graphene-fullerene-family/
“UC Berkeley chemists have proved that three carbon structures recently created by scientists in South Korea and Japan are in fact the long-sought schwarzites, which researchers predict will have unique electrical and storage properties like those now being discovered in buckminsterfullerenes (buckyballs or fullerenes for short), nanotubes and graphene.”

Scientists have confirmed a brand new phase of matter: time crystals
http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-just-announced-a-brand-new-form-of-matter-time-crystals
"Now it's official - researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre crystals. And two independent teams of scientists claim they've actually created time crystals in the lab based off this blueprint, confirming the existence of an entirely new phase of matter. The discovery might sound pretty abstract, but it heralds in a whole new era in physics - for decades we've been studying matter that's defined as being 'in equilibrium', such as metals and insulators."
Physicists Create World's First Time Crystal
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/602541/physicists-create-worlds-first-time-crystal/
"Today, we get an answer thanks to the work of Chris Monroe at the University of Maryland in College Park and a few pals, who have created a time crystal in their laboratory for the first time.
The basic process for making time crystals is straightforward. The idea is to create a quantum system, such as a group of ions arranged in a ring, and cool them until they are in their lowest energy state. In these circumstances, the laws of physics would suggest that the ring should be perfectly stationary."
Viewpoint: How to Create a Time Crystal
http://physics.aps.org/articles/v10/5
"The story of time crystals-whose lowest-energy configurations are periodic in time rather than space-epitomizes the creative ideas, controversy, and vigorous discussion that lie at the core of the scientific process. Originally theorized by Frank Wilczek in 2012, time crystals were met with widespread attention, but also a healthy dose of skepticism. This ignited a debate in the literature, culminating in a proof that time crystals cannot exist in thermal equilibrium, as originally imagined by Wilczek. But the tale did not end there."

The faster you are moving, the slower time moves! Trace is here to discuss time dilation, and how it’s so monumental that scientists were able to measure it in a lab!

Time dilation measured at 40 percent of the speed of light - in a lab
http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/time-dilation-measured-at-40-percent-of-the-speed-of-lightin-the-lab/
“Einstein is most famous for general relativity, which is really a theory of gravity.”
Time Dilation
http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/HEP/QuarkNet/time.html
“It turns out that as an object moves with relativistic speeds a "strange" thing seems to happen to its time as observed by ‘us’ the stationary observer (observer in an inertial reference frame).”
Test of Time Dilation Using Stored Li+ Ions as Clocks at Relativistic Speed
http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.120405
Synopsis: Relativity is Right on Time, Again
http://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.120405
“Special relativity predicts that a twin in a high-speed rocket, as viewed by his Earth-bound brother, will have a slower-ticking clock.”
Real-World Relativity: The GPS Navigation System
http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit5/gps.html
“People often ask me ‘What good is Relativity?’ It is a commonplace to think of Relativity as an abstract and highly arcane mathematical theory that has no consequences for everyday life. This is in fact far from the truth.”
How Special Relativity Works
http://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/everyday-myths/relativity10.htm
“In order to attempt to prove this theory of time dilation, two very accurate atomic clocks were synchronized and one was taken on a high-speed trip on an airplane.”
Hafele and Keating Experiment
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/airtim.html
“During October, 1971, four cesium atomic beam clocks were flown on regularly scheduled commercial jet flights around the world twice, once eastward and once westward, to test Einstein's theory of relativity with macroscopic clocks.”

Bizarre Antimatter Looks Surprisingly Like Regular Matter
http://www.seeker.com/bizarre-antimatter-looks-surprisingly-like-regular-matter-2158988923.html
"For the first time, physicists have shown that atoms of antimatter appear to give off the same kind of light that atoms of regular matter do when illuminated with lasers, a new study finds. More precise measurements of this emitted light could unearth clues that might finally help solve the mystery of why there is so much less antimatter than normal matter in the universe, researchers say."
Antimatter
https://home.cern/topics/antimatter
"Dirac interpreted the equation to mean that for every particle there exists a corresponding antiparticle, exactly matching the particle but with opposite charge. For the electron there should be an "antielectron", for example, identical in every way but with a positive electric charge. The insight opened the possibility of entire galaxies and universes made of antimatter."
Physicists have observed the light spectrum of antimatter for first time
http://www.sciencealert.com/physicists-have-observed-the-light-spectrum-of-antimatter-for-first-time
"After two decades of trying, physicists at CERN have reported the first ever measurement of the light emitted by an antimatter atom, revealing that antihydrogen is the exact mirror image of regular hydrogen. The result, which finally confirms what has long been predicted by the laws of physics, opens up a new way of testing Einstein's special theory of relativity, and could help us answer one of the biggest mysteries in modern physics - why is there so much more regular matter than antimatter in the Universe?"

Top 10 Uses for the World's Strongest Material
https://www.seeker.com/top-10-uses-for-the-worlds-strongest-material-1767195089.html
"Graphene is the world's new wonder material. It's the thinnest electronic material ever invented, consisting of a layer of carbon atoms just a single atom thick -- the atoms are arranged in a hexagonal pattern. It weighs almost nothing, coming in at only 0.77 grams for a square meter. But it's no lightweight. Graphene is 100 times stronger than steel of the same thickness. It conducts both heat and electricity better than copper, and has outstanding optical and mechanical properties. If it could be produced on an industrial scale, graphene might revolutionize fields such as electronics and even body armor."
A Lucky Lab Accident Results in Bucketloads of Graphene
https://www.seeker.com/a-lucky-lab-accident-results-in-bucketloads-of-graphene-2230364207.html
Apparently, when it comes to making graphene, the 21st-century 'miracle material' taking manufacturing by storm, you can do things the hard way or the fun way. The hard ways - and there are dozens - all have their own complications. Some require high temperatures and long 'cooking' times, others require the use of hazardous chemicals like sulfuric acid or hydrazine. The easy way comes from physicists at Kansas State University, and the process is admirably straightforward: Fill a steel containment unit with oxygen and hydrocarbon gas, detonate it with the spark and, voila, a bucketload of soot-like graphene. Scrape it out and repeat.
Graphene sieve turns seawater into drinking water
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/graphene-sieve-turns-seawater-into-drinking-water/
"Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved. New research demonstrates the real-world potential of providing clean drinking water for millions of people who struggle to access adequate clean water sources. The new findings from a group of scientists at The University of Manchester were published today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. Previously graphene-oxide membranes have shown exciting potential for gas separation and water filtration."

"Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis. Certain algae are familiar to most people; for instance, seaweeds (such as kelp or phytoplankton), pond scum or the algal blooms in lakes. However, there exists a vast and varied world of algae that are not only helpful to us, but are critical to our existence."
Biofuels from algae: challenges and potential
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3152439/
"Algae biofuels may provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels; however, this technology must overcome a number of hurdles before it can compete in the fuel market and be broadly deployed."
Biofuels: The Original Car Fuel
http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/biofuel-profile/
"Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil."

Does the order you're born in really affect the kind of person you grow up to be? Trace explains if there's really the impact people say there is.

How Birth Order Affects Your Personality
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=ruled-by-birth-order
"But when scientists scrutinized the data, they found that the evidence just did not hold up. In fact, until very recently there were no convincing findings that linked birth order to personality or behavior."
Birth Order Affects Child's Intelligence and Personality
http://www.livescience.com/6852-birth-order-affects-childs-intelligence-personality.html
"Birth order within families has long sparked sibling rivalry, but it might also impact the child's personality and intelligence, a new study suggests. First-borns are typically smarter, while younger siblings get better grades and are more outgoing, the researchers say."
How Your Birth Order Can Influence Who You Are
http://io9.com/how-your-birth-order-can-influence-who-you-are-1136567036
"As many parents can attest, siblings tend to be more different than alike. Some of this may be the result of our birth order, and how we're subsequently raised. What's more, birth order may influence our health and sexuality too. Here's what you need to know about how your birth rank affects your life."
That Elusive Birth Order Effect and What it Means for You
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201305/elusive-birth-order-effect-and-what-it-means-you
"Only child, first-born, last-born, or somewhere in between. Where do you fit into the birth order of your family? Perhaps you've come to believe the myths both in your family and in psychology as a whole that your character, values, achievement strivings, and life success are determined by the family position that fate, and your parents, awarded to you."
THE BIRTH ORDER EFFECT
http://www.psychologies.co.uk/family/the-birth-order-effect.html
"The order we're born in -- first, middle or youngest child -- is outside our control. So it can make us uncomfortable to think that our birth order can play a significant part in our success, our personality -- the direction of our life. Surely, these things are not set before we even get started?"
Birth Order: Fun to Debate, but How Important?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/08/health/08klas.html?_r=0
"The older girl was smart, neat and perfectly behaved in school; in her spare time, she won dance trophies. At every checkup, her mother would tell me what a good girl she was."

How does DNA testing work?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/20205874
"Parental, forensic and genetic testing look for similarities in the genetic markers between two biological samples. Because all cells in the body contain exactly the same DNA, samples can be taken from almost anywhere in the body, including skin, hair follicles, blood and other bodily fluids."
How is genetic testing done?
https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/testing/procedure
Once a person decides to proceed with genetic testing, a medical geneticist, primary care doctor, specialist, or nurse practitioner can order the test. Genetic testing is often done as part of a genetic consultation. Genetic tests are performed on a sample of blood, hair, skin, amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds a fetus during pregnancy), or other tissue.
The family history: the first genetic test, and still useful after all those years?
http://www.nature.com/gim/journal/v14/n1/full/gim0b013e3182310bcfa.html#ref-link-16
"The family history has its origins in genealogy and over the past century has become embedded in clinical practice. Its importance in specialized circumstances is unquestioned but largely untested. Moreover, the relevance of the family history to common diseases, especially in an era of genomic markers that convey risk and the emphasis on 'personalized medicine,' must be given careful scrutiny."

Cosmologists Prove Negative Mass Can Exist In Our Universe
https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/cosmologists-prove-negative-mass-can-exist-in-our-universe-250a980320a7
"Today, Saoussen Mbarek and Manu Paranjape at the Université de Montréal in Canada say they've found a solution to Einstein's theory of general relativity that allows negative mass without breaking any essential assumptions. Their approach means that negative mass can exist in our universe provided there is a reasonable mechanism for producing it, perhaps in pairs of positive and negative mass particles in the early universe."
'Negative mass' created at Washington State University
https://news.wsu.edu/2017/04/10/negative-mass-created-at-wsu/
"A negative effective mass can be realized in quantum systems by engineering the dispersion relation. A powerful method is provided by spin-orbit coupling, which is currently at the center of intense research efforts. Here we measure an expanding spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate whose dispersion features a region of negative effective mass. We observe a range of dynamical phenomena, including the breaking of parity and of Galilean covariance, dynamical instabilities, and self-trapping."
Anti-Gravity and Anti-Mass
https://www.npl.washington.edu/av/altvw14.html
"But perhaps there is a loophole in the equations of Newton and Einstein. This AV column concerns the idea of negative mass, one such potential loophole. This idea too has been anticipated in science fiction. In Gene Wolfe's The Citadel of the Autarch, the fourth volume of the "Book of the New Sun" trilogy, the Autarch transports the wounded Severian in a "flier". He explains that it obtains its lift from a boulder-size chunk of antimatter iron which is repelled by gravity rather than attracted. The question which we will consider here is whether antimatter, or more generally negative mass, could provide negative gravity and gravitational repulsion in this way."

"Geoscientists have little knowledge of what has been occurring with the magnetic field during recent millenniums. The current decline could be just a squiggle of typical fluctuations. So they turned to pottery and the record keeping of ancient bureaucrats."
Why Earth's Inner and Outer Cores Rotate in Opposite Directions
http://www.livescience.com/39780-magnetic-field-pushes-earth-core.html
"Scientists have long suspected that Earth's magnetic field - which protects life from harmful space radiation - drifts in a slightly westerly direction. That theory was established in the 1690s, when geophysicist Edmund Halley (the same Halley who spotted the eponymous comet) sailed aboard a research vessel through the South Atlantic Ocean and collected enough compass readings to identify this shift."

"Scientists think that about 500 million years ago, Earth's core solidified, turbocharging our magnetic field. This would have allowed the atmosphere to hold more gas, in part shielding early life from powerful solar rays - and allowing multicellular life to evolve."

What Is Epigenetics?
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/611
"The cells in a multicellular organism have nominally identical DNA sequences (and therefore the same genetic instruction sets), yet maintain different terminal phenotypes. This nongenetic cellular memory, which records developmental and environmental cues (and alternative cell states in unicellular organisms), is the basis of epi-(above)-genetics."

Yellowstone Supervolcano Much Bigger Than Thought
https://www.seeker.com/yellowstone-supervolcano-much-bigger-than-thought-1769766669.html”A giant reservoir of magma and hot rock beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano has been found and imaged. The newly found reservoir lies 12-28 miles below the surface, and is four-and-a-half times larger than the shallower, hot melted rock zone that powers current Yellowstone geysers and caused the caldera's last eruption some 70,000 years ago.”

Eye-Opener: Why Do Pupils Dilate in Response to Emotional States?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/eye-opener-why-do-pupils-dialate/
"For more than a century scientists have known that our eyes' pupils respond to more than changes in light. They also betray mental and emotional commotion. In fact, pupil dilation correlates with arousal so consistently that researchers use pupil size, or pupillometry, to investigate a wide range of psychological phenomena."
How your body reacts when you fall in love
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/12/health/your-body-on-love/
"Kesha wasn't too far off when she described love as a drug, according to a 2010 study conducted at Rutgers University. Researchers concluded that falling in love is much like the sensation of feeling addicted to drugs with the release of euphoria, including brain chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, and vasopressin."
Why Do People Blush?
http://www.livescience.com/32458-why-do-we-blush.html
"Turns out, this cheek-coloring reaction is a universal human response to social attention. Everyone does it, some more than others. Common blushing triggers include meeting someone important, receiving a compliment, and when experiencing a strong emotion in a social situation."

"A team of scientists in Germany, including Bezu Teschome and Artur Erbe of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, are working toward that goal. They've found a way to coat DNA-based nanowires in gold and conduct electricity. Their tiny, proof-of-concept wires could lead to DNA circuits and genetic computers that self-assemble from the molecule up."

"Now, a team of Harvard and Johns Hopkins geneticists has developed a new method of DNA encoding that makes it possible to store more digital information than ever before. We spoke with lead researcher Sriram Kosuri to learn why the future of archival data storage is in genetic code, and why his team's novel encoding scheme represents such an important step toward harnessing DNA's vast storage potential."
Using Synthetic Biology to Engineer Membrane Proteins
https://www.twistbioscience.com/blog/synthetic-biology-engineering-membrane-proteins/
"Synthetic DNA libraries have been used for many years to generate multiple versions of proteins to test. Researchers can order variant libraries containing many different sequence combinations to explore the possibility of improving the binding properties of antibodies or the catalytic activities of enzymes."

To Stay Young, Kill Zombie Cells
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-stay-young-kill-zombie-cells/
“That gave van Deursen and his colleagues at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, an idea: could killing off these 'zombie' cells in the mice delay their premature descent into old age? The answer was yes.”
Scientists Make Old Cells Behave Like They Are Young Again
https://www.seeker.com/health/scientists-make-old-cells-behave-like-they-are-young-again
“Researchers in England believe they’ve found a genetic switch that potentially resets the biological clock in old cells, causing them to look and behave just like spry younger cells. The discovery, published in the journal BMC Cell Biology, focused on a class of genes called splicing factors that play a critical role in translating genetic information into proteins within a cell.”
Life-Extending Discovery Renews Debate Over Aging as a ‘Disease’
https://www.seeker.com/health/biotech/life-extending-discovery-renews-debate-over-aging-as-a-disease
“Sinclair is part of a growing movement of ‘geroscientists’ who believe that aging is not inevitable. What we once thought of as a natural process is in fact a degenerative condition — a condition that cannot be cured, but can in fact be slowed.”
